Ericsson (ERIC), Vodafone Team Up for 5G Deployment in Romania
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ericsson (ERIC - Free Report) announced that it has entered into a six-year agreement with Vodafone Romania. Per the deal, Ericsson will facilitate the upgradation of Vodafone’s existing infrastructure and accelerate the deployment of high-performing 5G networks in the country.
By leveraging Ericsson 5G RAN (Radio Access Network) technology, Vodafone is aiming to offer faster connectivity, low latency and secure network performance to its customers. Ericsson Radio System Portfolio boasts a comprehensive suite of 5G RAN products, including the Ericsson Antenna System, which is an integral component of the RAN infrastructure. This system ensures greater throughput with significantly lower power consumption and reduces operational expenses with enhanced wind load and lower weight.
The solution’s offerings also include Massive MIMO (multiple input multiple output) technology that allows communication service providers to seamlessly utilize the mid-band 5G spectrum. The incorporation of these cutting-edge technologies will ensure a fast and smooth transition to 5G, expediting digital transformation across Romania.
The collaboration with Ericsson is a vital part of Vodafone’s multi-year investment plans that aim to develop strong technological fundamentals to build a future-ready, reliable and energy-efficient network infrastructure. Beyond robust connectivity, this initiative provides an innovative platform for residential users and enterprises to explore advanced use cases, drive industry transformation and foster a more interconnected digital society.
With the emergence of the smartphone market and the subsequent usage of mobile broadband, user demand for coverage speed and quality has increased exponentially. Further, to maintain performance with increased traffic, there is a continuous need for network tuning and optimization. Ericsson is much in demand among operators to expand network coverage and upgrade networks for higher speed and capacity. The company is reportedly the world’s largest supplier of LTE technology with a significant market share and has established a large number of LTE networks worldwide.
The company focuses on 5G system development and has undertaken many notable endeavors to position itself as a market leader. It believes that the standardization of 5G is the cornerstone for digitizing industries and broadband. Ericsson expects mainstream 4G offerings to give way to 5G technology in the future. It currently has 158 live 5G networks across the globe, spanning 67 countries.
The stock has lost 5.7% over the past year against the industry’s growth of 4.6%.
